CAM is found in members of the family Crassulaceae (e.g., Kalanchoe), family Cactaceae (e.g., Opuntia, Cereus), and some members of Liliaceae, Orchidaceae, Bromeliaceae, Euphorbia sp. All CAM plants are not succulent and stomata open at night.

In C4 plants, CO, fixation is done by

  • mesophyll cells

  • guard cells

  • sclerenchyma

  • chlorenchyma and hypodermis

Assertion: Photorespiration is a wasteful process where there is no synthesis of ATP energy.

Reason: RuBisCO is present in mesophyll cells of C4 plants hence they show more productivity.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If assertion is true but reason is false.
